Many were very old or deceased at the time of my birth. I find it interesting that there are so many Cooley&#39;s. I went to high school with a Cooley and we were not related. Go figure. I have heard that Cascade Iowa holds some information about the Cooley family. I plan to research this more.

On the plotted graph I have the most coverage in Scotland, Wales, some in England and Ireland. As far as Scandinavia - Denmark. What I did find interesting in my report was that my DNA revealed a 100% European ancestry. According to the report, 100% European doesn&#39;t happen frequently. Apparently my percentage is higher than most people born in/living in Europe today. Most people born in &quot;Great Britain and Ireland&quot; today demonstrate between 82-88% European ancestry. I hope this helps. I also found out that my father&#39;s grandmother&#39;s name was Mary Kelly and he was always told her lineage was Irish as well. The specific counties he mentioned were Mayo, Galway, and Clare. I hope this helps.Mary Revanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18240925880501174746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018333604420935528.post-82310615205935161642018-01-08T19:05:16.791-08:002018-01-08T19:05:16.791-08:00My name is Marjo,My mom was born a Cooley and we a...My name is Marjo,My mom was born a Cooley and we are also descended from Benjamin Cooley.

My father was named James Kelly Cooley-Petty after his (what we were told) were our Scot-Irish ancestors. My Daddy remembers my grandfather having an &quot;accent&quot; and he worked on a farm but was also working at the shipyards in Charleston,SC as he was a noted shipbuilder and welder. My father&#39;s side of the family were quite superstitious and unfortunately were quite poor. Finding information on the Cooley ancestry has been hard because my Daddy&#39;s mother died when he was 7 and the family refused to talk about her other than saying she was a kind and loving woman. I&#39;m not sure why but he death changed the family a great deal. My Daddy and his brother were sent to the Cooley farm to help slaughter hogs and their sister was sent high into the Appalachian mountains and was raised by a distant aunt- also a Cooley.<br /> Mary Revanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18240925880501174746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018333604420935528.post-84541674957148881932017-01-07T14:47:36.798-08:002017-01-07T14:47:36.798-08:00My great Grandparent were Ora L Cooley &amp; Letti...My great Grandparent were Ora L Cooley &amp; Lettie A Sheldon Cooley Bethlehem PA<br />Cheri Manushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00028615421229863689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018333604420935528.post-75049451542986923992016-12-25T16:53:08.609-08:002016-12-25T16:53:08.609-08:00Her father was Herbert Cooley and his father was C...Her father was Herbert Cooley and his father was Chester Cooley.coleensayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07582761388803563522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018333604420935528.post-84669604106860464452016-12-25T16:51:52.048-08:002016-12-25T16:51:52.048-08:00My grandmother was a Cooley.
